When Django creates tables it give them names of form app_class. I'm in the position of retrofitting a different (but basically similar in content) database to a Django installation. My tables name are not prepended with app_.

I could recreate my database and its tables accordingly but I'd like to see if Django has the flexibility to modify how it handles table names.

That is, I have a table coi_fs - I'd like to see if I can change the Django installation such that it will refer not to app_coi_fs but simply coi_fs?

That's useful information Victor (which I already had) but it doesn't solve this particular problem. In the end, I solved the problem by going back to my CREATE DATABASE script and prepended table names with app_. I was hoping for a better solution but this will do. So I can't mark you answer solved but I can give it a +1.
